Abstract
The ability to forecast the academic performance of
Naval Officer students in the Operations Analysis curriculum
is an issue of importance to the Navy. In the interest of
cost effectiveness and achieving the required numbers of
operations analysis graduates, this thesis studies the
present student selection factors for the OA curriculum and
suggests several alternative factors to improve the selection
decision. An analysis of variance approach was taken
to explore the relationship of the student's academic
profile code and several other variables to determine their
importance in explaining the CA student's academic performance.
A study of 159 Navy OA students was completed. The
analysis showed the student's overall total college grade
point average, the time from completion of college to
commencement of work in the OA curriculum (in fact performance
does not decrease over time), the student's designator
and his college degree to be the most important factors in
explaining the variability of student performance.
